#SensationalSalad #2025 PeachysPicks #AmmosEstiatorio @AmmosNewYork by #DimitrisNakos Leads the Way with the FIRST Repeat Performance in our Newest Hottest Freshest Culinary Column, Sensational Salads! #HAPPYBIRTHDAY #DIMITRISNAKOS !!!!

Surf's up for your appetite!  It's prime time SUMMER and everyone knows we love Ammos Estiatorio and Ammos means sand in Greek so it's time to hit the virtual beach on 52 Vanderbilt Avenue for drumroll please, the first repeat feature in Sensational Salads!  
There are three salad choices and four protein choices, all charcoal grilled to premium perfection.
We begin with Salata a la Dimitri, which obviously was created by Founder, Owner and Executive Chef Dimitris Nakos.  Dry figs, mixed berries, Greek honey, assorted nuts and spring mix greens are a revelation among the dusting of Garlic Balsamic Vinaigrette.  We chose to add chicken which was grilled to its juiciest glory and was a brilliant addition.
Horiatiki is a Traditional Greek Salad, and Athens Native Dimitris Nakos has crafted a winner!  We chose to add delightful grilled octopus to up the wow factor.  Vine-ripened tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives with no pit, red onion and bell peppers team up with barrel-aged feta and all luxuriate with authentic oregano sourced from fresh Mount Taygetos and evoo.  A beacon of freshness, it is sure to ignite your appetite!
Pantzaria Carpaccio is Peachy's personal favorite at the moment and expertly sliced thin-cut golden and red beets marvelously dance in a shallot vinaigrette which is just the right touch.  The real star of the show however is the intoxicatingly sublime Pistachio Yogurt that perches upon it with panache.  The grilled salmon was a total culinary triumph and Peachy's favorite protein. The verdict is that Ammos Estiatorio sensationally serves the freshest, most ingenious salads that are the very quintessence of the brilliant summer season.
If you see Dimitris wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON JULY 4TH!
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIMITRIS!!!!!" exclaims Peachy!

Not only will you see Dimitris's smiling face along with all your favorite staff this season, but also you will see his talented son George who is a fabulous addition to the Nakos Hospitality team this summer.

Ammos Estiatorio continues to earn our Highest Recommendation, and remember they have been a Peachy's Pick since 2011.

#InauguralReview #CasaBond Since 2023 #Mexican by #LuisVillanueva and #ExecutiveChefRodriguoAbrajan #334Bowery

Smile with your Lobster and the world smiles with you.
You can never have too much Lobster in your life and we are always on the lookout for new lobster friends!  It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know Luis!  Like many restaurant owners we've met and liked, he is the walking talking American Dream story.  Luis Villanueva came to New York from Oaxaca, Mexico in 2005 and he began as a dishwasher and today, he's one of the two founders and owners of Casa Bond, the most sophisticated Mexican place you'll find in Manhattan today.  Of course we worked with him directly and he was a shining beacon of hospitality and we hope he keeps it up!  Executive Chef Rodriguo Abrajan, also a native of Mexico, was not present because he was in Mexico getting ingredients; we are told 95% of the ingredients at Casa Bond are sourced from Mexico and arrive weekly.  This sounds like an excellent reason to not be at your restaurant to us; we had sky high standards before but Francis Staub raised the bar much higher for everyone when he came from France to meet Peachy the minute she walked in for the first time and we are still upset that Chez Francis closed.  Our Spanish is limited but we do know that Casa means house.
Casa Bond earns high accolades from us for authenticity of owners and ingredients!
Forty percent of the menu changes three times a year.
It opened November 2, 2023, and it's named after Bond Street.  
Everyone knows Peachy loves lobster, and the Lobster Guacamole will wow you with its gorgeous presentation first and its incredible taste second.  Habanero, jicama, cilantro macho and obviously lobster teamed up to perch upon freshly made totopos (the chips) of Corn, Blue Corn and Multigrain.  Allow us to emphasize the word FRESH.  These are not some inferior commercial chip.  They are crafted just for you like they should be.
This was our favorite item.
Salads matter.
There are two choices at Casa Bond: 
Noho Verde, above, we liked best.  It is composed of Organic Mixed Greens, Toasted Walnuts, Anjou pears which we particularly liked and is one of a short list of sweet anything we would want to see in a salad, orange wedges, and white truffle pecorino cheese which was incredible.  The dressing is cherry vinaigrette.
Jicama Salad is authentic to Mexico; it was crunchy and different to meet with gem lettuce, carrots, cucumber, commendable naval oranges with all the white strings removed, watermelon radish and the dressing is poblano vinaigrette.  We chose to add shrimp which elevated it tremendously and across the board we like to see protein choices to add to salads.  In general, we like to see choices for the diner to make on menus to make items to their liking.
In both salad cases they listened and put the dressing on the side for Ms. Pretty Picky.
Of course as always, pictures are unedited.
You win like Luis and team or we do not publish.
Peachy's second favorite edible from this inaugural review are the Gobernador Tacos.
For someone that does not go crazy for tacos or even Mexican food usually, Casa Bond has won the picky one over.  The Surf and Turf concept excels with shrimp and steak on a flour tortilla handmade every morning with vegetable lard not pork to make it healthier we are told.
Chihuahua cheese, tomato and poblano come to the party.  We also loved the red tomatillo sauce.  
Enchiladas Suizas we would suggest with skirt steak!  A chef's blend of melted cheese joins obviously the steak, star of the show, green tomatillo and serrano creamy salsa.  Of course if you are going to be a successful restaurant in Manhattan you better have a convincing cheeseburger and show us that you know what medium rare is...as you can see Peachy cut it herself.  Peachy said enchante to the Oaxacan (the region Luis is making famous) cheese which is of the Quesillo variety from a cow as it successfully partied with eight delicious ounces of sirloin, Mexican chorizo, guacamole and freshly cut Idaho potato fries.  Of course Peachy is a cheeseburger monster akin to the cookie monster and she did love it at Casa Bond.  We can't wait to see the Oaxacan cheese again and Peachy sipped on a California Cabernet that she liked.
Pescado Zarandeado (means charred) is wonderfully broiled, beautifully butterflied branzino!  It's intelligently marinated in a annatto-guajillo with obviously fresh (you know this by now if you have read carefully!) hand-pressed tortillas.  The convincing fish was made even better by the solid sides of asparagus: we love green vegetables when they are shining in their proper glory and refried beans: credit to Isabel Cuevas!  It's her recipe and guess what, there's avocado leaf and oja santa herb mixed in.  She's also famous for being Luis's mother.
Luis asked Peachy if she likes dessert.  She asked Luis if they had chocolate.  Not only do they have chocolate lava cake but also they personalize it with 32-ingredient Mole inside and obviously everything is better in life with genuine ice cream (not the fake stuff-guess who does not like fake anything).  And of course because this is not your average place but since when are we interested in average, you don't have vanilla but you have White Toasted Sesame Ice Cream.  Outstanding!  And we've never had that before.

#PeachysPetPals Brazilian Ecopark Taps the Penetron System to Help Preserve Endangered Manatees

Integral concrete waterproofing: For below-grade concrete structures exposed to hydrostatic pressure on both the positive and negative sides, the Penetron System was the optimal solution.

By March 2025, renovation work and technical updates at the Peixe-Boi Ecopark at the National Center for Research and Conservation of Aquatic Mammals (CMA) on Itamaracá Island in northeastern Brazil were largely completed. The renewed facility provides a boost to CMA's preservation efforts and to sustainable tourism on the island. The Penetron System, a concrete waterproofing system, was specified to provide durable protection for the West Indian manatee holding tanks exposed to both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure.


By March 2025, renovation work and technical updates at the Peixe-Boi Ecopark at the National Center for Research and Conservation of Aquatic Mammals (CMA) on Itamaracá Island in northeastern Brazil were largely completed. The renewed facility provides a boost to CMA's preservation efforts and to sustainable tourism on the island. The Penetron System, a concrete waterproofing system, was specified to provide durable protection for the West Indian manatee holding tanks exposed to both positive and negative hydrostatic pressure.


A tropical island situated in the northeast corner of Brazil on the Atlantic Ocean, Ilha de Itamaracá is connected to the mainland by a long road bridge. With a total area of over 66 km2 (>25 mi2), the island has a population of around 27,000 inhabitants. About two thirds of the island is covered by protected rain forest ('Mata Atlantica'), with human inhabitation concentrated mostly along the eastern coastline boasting white sandy beaches. Fishing and tourism are the main pillars of the island's economy.


Another key advantage is that the Penetron System is completely non-toxic, and NSF 61-certified for potable water applications. The quality of the manatee swimming water remains unaffected by any Penetron crystalline products.

The National Center for Research and Conservation of Aquatic Mammals (CMA) on Itamaracá Island is part of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) and plays a crucial role in preserving the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), an endangered species in Brazil. The CMA carries out rescue, rehabilitation, and reintroduction of these animals into their natural habitat, and supports research and environmental education.

The R$ 10 million renovation and modernization of the Peixe-Boi Ecopark on Itamaracá Island is an important part of CMA's efforts to promote preservation of the West Indian manatee and develop sustainable ecotourism on the island.

"Penetron Brazil was asked to provide a durable waterproofing solution for the Ecopark's large concrete holding tanks where the manatees are kept," adds Cláudio Neves Ourives, CEO and Managing Partner of Penetron Brazil. "In particular, the below-grade concrete tank walls needed to withstand both negative and positive pressure."

An integral waterproofing solution is optimal for below-grade concrete structures confronted with both the positive hydrostatic pressure of the water contained in the tank and the negative hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding groundwater water levels.

Penetron recommended the Penetron System of concrete waterproofing products to ensure the integrity of the manatee tanks. PENETRON, a topical crystalline waterproofing material, was applied to both sides of the concrete tanks to ensure impermeability of the concrete and seal hairline cracks. PENECRETE MORTAR, a crystalline repair grout, was used to seal the construction joints and tie holes.

When applied to a prepared concrete surface, the active ingredients in PENETRON penetrate the concrete and react to moisture to form insoluble crystals throughout the cracks, pores, and voids, becoming an integral part of the concrete matrix.

"Another key advantage is that the Penetron System is completely non-toxic, and NSF 61-certified for potable water applications. The quality of the manatee swimming water remains unaffected by any Penetron crystalline products," concludes Cláudio Neves Ourives.

The Penetron Group is a leading manufacturer of specialty construction products for concrete waterproofing, concrete repairs, and floor preparation systems. The Group operates through a global network, offering support to the design and construction community through its regional offices, representatives, and distribution channels.

#FloridaPeachy #LegalPeachy New Florida DUI Law Imposes Criminal Charges for First-Time Breath DUI Test Refusals and Increases Penalties for DUI Manslaughter

Florida's new "Trenton's Law," effective October 1, 2025, criminalizes first-time refusals of DUI breath, urine, or blood tests and elevates repeat DUI manslaughter to a first-degree felony.


Starting October 1, 2025, a significant update to Florida's DUI laws will dramatically change how individuals must handle DUI arrests, specifically regarding breath or urine test refusals. Signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, House Bill 687—commonly known as "Trenton's Law"—marks a critical turning point in Florida's approach to DUI enforcement.

Current Law (Before October 1, 2025):


This law shifts significant power into the hands of prosecutors and judges, potentially increasing the pressure on first-time DUI defendants to plead guilty to avoid harsher penalties.

Under existing statutes, anyone driving in Florida automatically consents to breath, blood, or urine tests if lawfully arrested for DUI. A first-time refusal results primarily in administrative penalties, specifically a one-year suspension of the driver's license, without criminal charges. A second-time refusal is criminalized as a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and an 18-month license suspension. Additionally, DUI Manslaughter with prior convictions was formerly classified as a second-degree felony, with a potential imprisonment of up to 15 years.

New Law (effective October 1, 2025):

Even a first-time refusal to take a DUI test after a lawful arrest will now be criminalized, classified as a second-degree misdemeanor, and punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine, in addition to a one-year suspension of the driver's license. Prior DUI offenders involved in a DUI manslaughter case will face significantly harsher penalties, with such charges upgraded to first-degree felonies carrying up to 30 years in prison. Enhanced penalties also apply to related offenses, including vehicular and vessel homicide.

Adam Rossen, founding attorney of Rossen Law Firm, warns, "This law shifts significant power into the hands of prosecutors and judges, potentially increasing the pressure on first-time DUI defendants to plead guilty to avoid harsher penalties."

Attorney Adam Rossen, a former prosecutor turned renowned criminal defense attorney specializing in DUI defense, emphasizes the importance for Florida residents to understand the ramifications of this legislation fully. Previously, defendants faced tough decisions under pressure, often without access to legal counsel at the roadside. This law intensifies the situation, creating a critical need for informed decision-making long before a potential arrest occurs.

The consequences extend beyond the courtroom. "A DUI conviction can cost upwards of $30,000 to $40,000 over several years, creating financial and social barriers that linger long after the legal case concludes," adds Attorney Adam.

At Rossen Law Firm, the team is dedicated not only to defending cases but also to proactively educating the public. "Our goal is ensuring Floridians have 100% of the information necessary to make the best decisions for themselves," Attorney Adam Rossen explains. "Law enforcement often provides only a portion of the necessary information during DUI arrests, as permitted by the Implied Consent law. We're here to clarify the full picture."

With extensive experience successfully handling thousands of DUI cases, Rossen Law Firm is prepared to provide insightful, expert commentary on the practical implications of this new law.

About Rossen Law Firm:

Rossen Law Firm is a premier criminal defense firm with offices in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Miami, widely recognized for its expertise in DUI defense. Founded by Adam Rossen, a former prosecutor, the firm has a strong history of aggressively defending clients, fighting for justice, and advocating for fairness in the criminal justice system. Known for their focus on client education and rights advocacy, Rossen Law Firm helps good people when bad things happen, allowing clients to achieve the best possible outcomes.

#NHLPeachy @NHL Notes from Round 1 of the 2025 Upper Deck NHL Draft


ISLANDERS SELECT SCHAEFER WITH FIRST OVERALL PICK

Picking at No. 1 for the fifth time in franchise history and first since 2009, the Islanders made defenseman Matthew Schaefer of the Erie Otters the top pick in the 2025 Upper Deck NHL Draft. Schaefer became the first OHL player to go first overall in the NHL Draft since Connor McDavid in 2015 (also out of Erie) and the first OHL defenseman to be picked at No. 1 in more than a decade, with Aaron Ekblad (2014) the last before him.

* Schaefer became the fifth defenseman this quarter century to be chosen with the first overall pick, after Owen Power (2021 by BUF), Rasmus Dahlin (2018 by BUF), Ekblad (2014 by FLA) and Erik Johnson (2006 by STL). Overall, he was the ninth defenseman in the past 42 years to be selected first.

* Schaefer joined Ekblad on a short list of four OHL defensemen to go No. 1 in the NHL Draft (also Bryan Berard in 1995 & Ed Jovanovski in 1994) and started a trend of players from the league going on Day 1 of the 2025 Upper Deck NHL Draft.

* An emotional moment for any top pick, the dream-fulfilling night had added meaning for Schaefer who lost his mother, Jennifer, to breast cancer in February 2024. With her picture and signature stitched inside his suit jacket, Schaefer pointed to the sky on his walk to the stage where he was presented with an Islanders jersey for the first time – with a purple Hockey Fights Cancer ribbon sewn on the left chest.

“This is a high-class organization … A lot of people can say, 'Oh, it's just a ribbon,' but it means a lot for me. And you know, my mom's a big part of my life. And this jersey I'm gonna hang up for sure. And I mean, that ribbon has a little extra meaning to it.” -- Schaefer


MISA PICKED SECOND OVERALL IN STRONG ROUND 1 FOR OHL, CANADA

The second name called at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theater was Michael Misa, who went to the Sharks after leading the CHL (OHL/WHL/QMJHL) in scoring with 134 points in 2024-25 – the most by any OHL player since 2006-07 (Patrick Kane: 145 points & John Tavares: 134).



* With Matthew Schaefer and Misa going first and second overall, it marked the first time since 2010 that the top two picks in the NHL Draft were from the OHL. That draft also was held in Los Angeles.



* Overall, nine players were drafted out of the OHL – the second straight year they have had as many in Round 1 (also 9 in 2024). The last time the league was represented as strongly in the opening round of consecutive drafts was in 2011 and 2012 (11 in each R1).



* For the first time in 38 years and fourth time in NHL Draft history, 20 Canadian-born players were selected in Round 1. That list includes William Horcoff, who was born in Canada but represents the USA internationally.






FRONDELL LEADS LIST OF SIX EUROPEANS SELECTED ON DAY 1

Anton Frondell is coming off a season in which he posted the second-most points ever by a player age 17 or younger in Sweden’s second division (behind William Nylander in 2013-14), garnering the attention of the Blackhawks who chose him at No. 3. He became the eighth Swedish-born player to be selected among the top three of an NHL Draft and made Chicago the first team since Edmonton from 2010 to 2012 to make a top three selection in three consecutive years (also Artyom Levshunov at No. 2 in 2024 & Connor Bedard at No. 1 in 2023).





HAGENS STAYING PUT IN BOSTON AS FIRST AMERICAN PICKED FRIDAY

The first American selected in the 2025 Upper Deck NHL Draft was James Hagens (Hauppauge, N.Y.), selected seventh overall by the Bruins after ranking fourth among NCAA Division 1 freshmen in points with Boston College in 2024-25. Hagens became the third player picked by Boston out of either Boston College or Boston University. It was the third straight year that an NCAA player was picked among the top 10, with Hagens joining Macklin Celebrini (No. 1) and Artyom Levshunov (No. 2) last year as well as Adam Fantilli (No. 3) in 2023.



* A total of seven U.S. nationals were picked (6 who were born in the country), including three of the last four selections. Mason West, who is also a Division I football prospect, was picked at No. 29 by the Blackhawks; Henry Brzustewicz, the only selection by the host Kings (No. 31), followed in the footsteps of his brother, Hunter, who was picked 75th overall in 2023 (VAN); as well as Cullen Potter, the son of four-time U.S. Olympic hockey player Jenny Potter, who became the first player ever drafted out of Arizona State University when the Flames called his name at No. 32.






DRAFT DAY DEALS SHOOK UP ORDER OF SELECTION IN ROUND 1

Montreal entered the draft with the most picks of any team (12) and as one of eight teams who were set to pick multiple times in Round 1, but dealt both of their first-round picks to the Islanders in exchange for defenseman Noah Dobson – who they then signed to an eight-year contract.



* The moves gave the Islanders three picks in Round 1 for the second time (also 4 in 1999) and allowed them to make back-to-back first-round selections for the third time.



* The Penguins also had been slated for back-to-back Round 1 picks but made a deal with the state-rival Flyers, who moved up to select Jack Nesbitt at No. 12.



* Pittsburgh acquired two picks from Philadelphia and then made a deal with host Los Angeles to finish the day with three first-round picks – Benjamin Kindel (No. 11), Bill Zonnon (No. 22) and William Horcoff (No. 24) – all announced by Kris Letang’s son, Alex. It marked just the second time they made a trio of Round 1 selections (also 1984: Mario Lemieux at No. 1, Doug Bodger at No. 9 & Roger Belanger at No. 16).






LOADING UP ON FIRST ROUND PICKS

Four teams made three picks apiece in Round 1 – a first in NHL Draft history – and overall eight clubs made multiple selection. In addition to the Islanders and Penguins (detailed above), the Predators and Blackhawks also added three players to their system Friday.



* Nashville traded up to select Cameron Reid at No. 21, the second of their three picks along with Brady Martin (No. 5), who was watching from his family’s farm in Elora, Ont., and Ryker Lee (No. 26), whose dad was born in Taiwan. It was the first time the Predators made three Round 1 selections.



* Chicago made three selections in the first round of the NHL Draft for the third time in the past four years, following 2024 and 2022 (3 in each).



* Two of the eight clubs overall that made multiple picks in Round 1 were responsible for drafting the only goaltenders picked Friday: Pyotr Andreyanov to the Blue Jackets at No. 20 and Joshua Ravensbergen to the Sharks at No. 30.






CELEBRITIES HELP WELCOME PROSPECTS TO NHL

With clubs basing their draft headquarters out of their home markets for the first time, the NHL enlisted a number of celebrity pickers to announce Round 1 selections.



* Among the long list of special guests Friday: WWE superstar Bayley (SJS); PGA golfer and Utah native Tony Finau (UTA); NBA legend Charles Barkley and two-time Super Bowl champion Brandon Graham (both PHI); Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore (BOS); Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer (SEA); Goo Goo Dolls John Rzeznik and Robby Takac (both BUF); Mighty Ducks stars Joshua Jackson and Marguerite Moreau (both ANA); actors Dave Coulier (DET); and Kevin Connolly (NYI); Meredith Gaudreau (CBJ); comedians Nikki Glaser (STL) and Tom Green (OTT); NFL tight end George Kittle and country singer Jordan Davis (both NSH); as well as Isaiah Mustafa who announced both a trade and the Kings’ lone Round 1 pick.



* Another special appearance came at pick No. 25 when Commissioner Gary Bettman recognized NHL senior executive vice president of communications Gary Meagher, who is retiring following the draft after 44 years with the League.
